## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability locus-transportation-context-property-scan-a73be932 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run an early property scan on 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, IL 62704 and tell me about any local records, zoning rules, or risk signals that might affect its value or how I can use it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost preliminary scan of US property-level data including parcel rules, local records, and risk signals — especially early in a property research or due diligence workflow before committing to more expensive data sources

## Known failure modes

- Missing both address and zip fields returns a validation error
- Non-US addresses or invalid ZIP codes may return empty records or an error
- Unrecognized or ambiguous address strings may fall back to ZIP-level data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
- Sparse coverage areas may return empty records arrays with caveats noted

## How this service works

State DOT funded projects + traffic counts near an address. Perfect for: road projects nearby, DOT funded projects, traffic counts, AADT, planned highway work. Wired states: full project+traffic (CA, CO, CT, FL, MA, NC, NY, PA, RI, TX, VA, WA); traffic-only (AZ, IL, IN, KY, MD, MI, MN, NJ, OH, OK, OR, SC, TN, UT, WI). Covered zero answer is real. Charge-free out of coverage/failure.

## Output

A JSON report containing an ID, generation timestamp, any applicable caveats, and a records array with local records, parcel rules, and risk signals relevant to the queried property or ZIP code
